With the "Kids bowl free," weve been going here since school was let out. Last night we met up with another family who participates and decided to make it a family night. We were going to get food and bowl two games. We got our lane no problem but when I went to initially buy drinks the man behind the counter acted as if I was ruining his day asking him to do his job and serve drinks/food. I ordered 3 cokes and he walked away before I could finish. When he walked back with the drinks (let me add that he slammed them on the counter) I asked for nachos. He ROLLED HIS EYES because my son wanted nachos. Now, Im not 4 star chef but Im pretty sure nachos involves opening a bag of chips, putting them in a plastic tray then pouring cheese sauce in the separated compartment. I told him to forget the nachos since it was such a bother. Apparently, that made him realize he was being a complete jerk. He calmed down, a little bit. Later I came up to get food and a pitcher of beer. Again, he was at max level: ass. I decided not to get food just the pitcher of beer. He slammed everything he possibly could down. The receipts, the cups the pitcher. It was ridiculous. The closer it got to 7pm, the more the bullying started. At 6:45, one of the employees told us that a league was starting and we had 15 minutes to finish bowling. Since we were not going to bowl another game and were almost done I didnt think anything of it. He proceeded to come to my lane 3 more times to tell me the time and that the league started soon. He came up the last time and told me I had "three minutes." Seriously? I am made to feel as those Im not only impeding on your free time to get paid by asking for drinks but now Im made to feel as though Im imposing on you when you offer these "free" games for kids. It will be a long time before I go back - In fact, Ill probably just drive further and go to the one in Ogden, theyve always been nicer. Save yourself some anxiety, avoid this place.

My family and I participated in the kidsbowlfree offer here this past summer. We were here several times a week. This place is clean, including the restrooms. Non smoking environment. I love that you can find a wide array of bowling balls here. I like light weight small bowling balls but I need the finger holes to be comfortable and have no problem finding them here. The people who work here are friendly and helpful. The snack bar is good. My family really enjoy the fries and cheese sticks. Check their website for the daily specials. Some days they have a DJ who takes requests and is good to be mindful about kids being present when selecting his content. This is not an updated or fancy alley. They have bumpers but they are either up or down while you bowl not automatic like Ive seen at other alleys. They have a small arcade thats mostly outdated and often times many of the games are not functioning properly but they do refund if you lose a coin, and they have tickets and prizes to redeem them for. Great place for indoor fun with the family when its too hot or rainy days.

It is so refreshing to go bowling-just for FUN!!! Join a No-Tap league to just have a great night out. No-Tap is when you get 9 pins down and it counts as a strike! Serious bowlers need not apply! The owner and employees are great and so is the music. There are 4 people to a team, making it a wonderful night out for the family-or friends. The icing on the cake? The owner gives back to our community by not only hiring challenged individuals, but sponsoring challenged individuals by allowing them to bowl. Wow.

Nice clean bowling ally! This place has 32 lanes which to increase the availability to avoid long lines. There was a variety of bowling balls to choose from. For $10 on Friday night you can bowel till midnight which includes a shoe rental. They also have and arcade and a bar. The staff was welcoming and attentive.

Its Saturday night and we had to go to Ten Pin Alley because they close at 11:00. The guy at the counter ran out everyone to close. There were only about 18 to 20 lanes being bowled on so I guess it wasnt worth staying open. I guess from now on we wont waste our time and just head to Ten Pin Alley.

Could use some fresh paint, new tiles in the ceiling and updated carpet to rid the place of years of cigarettes. However, the have real wood lanes, much better than Ten Pin and Thunder Alley. Not to mention the owner of the pro shop is fantastic.

Assuming it was the manager, he helped us with a better deal for bowling and refunded some of my money when they overcharged me for food. I wasnt worried with it but it was nice they cared enough to do it.

Pretty good bowling alley, lanes are still wood. Approaches are in bad shape though. Great pro shop, good little snack bar. Service has been good, too.

Awesome place for bowling. Everyone there is so kind. The pro shop is the best place to get you bowling balls and other equipment.
